Sherlock Holmes

I rang in the New Year with Robert Downey Jr. (literally -- I went to a late showing because the TTC was running for free after midnight, so it only cost me a fare going to the theatre. My return trip was gratis, except for having to pay the price of avoiding the drunk who was throwing up in the recycling cart at the station ... she didn't even have the decency to chuck her up in the garbage receptacle next to it ...) You know, it was enjoyable, with lots of action and some funny, but it's not like the mystery bits of it were ever what kept you going. You knew anything that seems unexplainable has an explanation, and only appears mysterious so that Holmes can reveal the little man behind the curtain. That's kind of the point of the subject matter, right? (... and its not like at any time we suspected the baddie's is back from the dead because he's some kind of evil dark wizard master ... we didn't accidentally walk into Buffy the Vampire Slayer here.) Still ... fun. Verdict: Movie Rental
